Narrative:

I'm a check airman for a major carrier. Most of my time is spent working in the simulators and I don't get a lot of 'hands on' flying. When I'm in the airplane, it's usually spent watching another pilot fly while I check him out. This event occurred during a flight I made for my own proficiency. In fact, it had been almost 2 months since I'd flown for myself. It was the first time into milan for both the copilot and myself. The copilot had flown the leg over and I was going to fly the leg back. We noticed some altitude crossing restrictions on the departure procedure during our cockpit set up before starting engines. In fact there were 4 of these 'at or above' restrictions. I thought I was ready mentally for the departure and I had picked this leg to fly purposely. I did not expect to be leveled at FL80 by the controller. The first part of the departure went well, but when I tried to follow the 'raw data' too closely, I allowed my speed to creep up to 280 KTS at 1 point during a 90 degree left turn. We were IFR at the time and I did not do a great job of hand flying. I became distraction and forgot about the 15000 or above restriction passing rmg until the first officer mentioned it. About this time the controller asked if we were 'ground contact', which we were. I crossed rmg at about 13700 ft. The crew assumed too much in my ability and did not warn me soon enough. For my part, I should have let the copilot fly the leg. But, the main thing is that I must fly the airplane more often for my own proficiency.

Title: DURING DEP FROM MILAN, LINE CHK AIRMAN MISSES ALT XING RESTRICTION AND ALLOWS SPD TO INCREASE 30 KTS.

Narrative: I'M A CHK AIRMAN FOR A MAJOR CARRIER. MOST OF MY TIME IS SPENT WORKING IN THE SIMULATORS AND I DON'T GET A LOT OF 'HANDS ON' FLYING. WHEN I'M IN THE AIRPLANE, IT'S USUALLY SPENT WATCHING ANOTHER PLT FLY WHILE I CHK HIM OUT. THIS EVENT OCCURRED DURING A FLT I MADE FOR MY OWN PROFICIENCY. IN FACT, IT HAD BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS SINCE I'D FLOWN FOR MYSELF. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME INTO MILAN FOR BOTH THE COPLT AND MYSELF. THE COPLT HAD FLOWN THE LEG OVER AND I WAS GOING TO FLY THE LEG BACK. WE NOTICED SOME ALT XING RESTRICTIONS ON THE DEP PROC DURING OUR COCKPIT SET UP BEFORE STARTING ENGS. IN FACT THERE WERE 4 OF THESE 'AT OR ABOVE' RESTRICTIONS. I THOUGHT I WAS READY MENTALLY FOR THE DEP AND I HAD PICKED THIS LEG TO FLY PURPOSELY. I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE LEVELED AT FL80 BY THE CTLR. THE FIRST PART OF THE DEP WENT WELL, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO FOLLOW THE 'RAW DATA' TOO CLOSELY, I ALLOWED MY SPD TO CREEP UP TO 280 KTS AT 1 POINT DURING A 90 DEG L TURN. WE WERE IFR AT THE TIME AND I DID NOT DO A GREAT JOB OF HAND FLYING. I BECAME DISTR AND FORGOT ABOUT THE 15000 OR ABOVE RESTRICTION PASSING RMG UNTIL THE FO MENTIONED IT. ABOUT THIS TIME THE CTLR ASKED IF WE WERE 'GND CONTACT', WHICH WE WERE. I CROSSED RMG AT ABOUT 13700 FT. THE CREW ASSUMED TOO MUCH IN MY ABILITY AND DID NOT WARN ME SOON ENOUGH. FOR MY PART, I SHOULD HAVE LET THE COPLT FLY THE LEG. BUT, THE MAIN THING IS THAT I MUST FLY THE AIRPLANE MORE OFTEN FOR MY OWN PROFICIENCY.
